What I’ve Learned About Vehicle Titles
We’re officially staying in New York, and consequently I’m selling my big blue smurfvan since parking is like a million dollars a week. Yes, the good times are over.
It turns out I lost the title for the smurfvan, so I had to send away for a duplicate in order to be able to sell it here. The van is registered in Idaho still, so I mailed the proper form to the Idaho State DMV, and even paid $26 extra for “Rush” processing.
Upon calling said DMV, it turns out that “Rush” processing means they decide to hit 3 keystrokes on their computer and print out your new title in 5-6 business days, and then snail mail it back to you. I can’t fathom how long non rush processing ends up taking.
Sadly, long distance DMV interactions are apparently just as painful as the in-person ones. I’ve been waiting for 18 days.
